I remember, during the turn of the bubble, when Gary Coleman was filing for bankruptcy. He was on TV telling people to "stay away from the tech/internet stocks". is he still a kid? how old is that guy?

what if it read like this?

This is true, however, most stockpickers (no such thing) tend to throw out 5-10 picks and some picks tend to perform or outperform. The catch is that the stockpicker's following will evolve based on the people who make money on the outperformers. The people that lose money get hooked from the...

sounds like this guy can't even believe his trades are going the right way. Classic newbie syndrome in an UP market. what can you say. p

AAA...when you are trading multi-million dollar (or in most mutual fund's cases: multi-BILLION dollar) accounts you are very limited as to rules/regulations on when/how often you can trade. You pretty much HAVE TO be in the market at ALL times. So, don't compare a guy who has had a "winning...

Just to come to Babak's defense for a second... I read a couple of posts that knocked Babak for "waiting for a top" and that if Babak keeps a short bais then the market will come to him. How else can you swing trade? Just look at any toping formation. Can anyone pinpoint it? All you can do...

what the f**k do you care if anyone wants to make it in trading or not? You didn't. So leave the business and let those who want to attempt at a career in trading try. Don't knock down people that are trying because you lost in this game. Loser. (just my opinion)

Who cares if you can spot a short? The specialst doesn't mark a short sale and then tank the market. You're a fool if you believe that. If you really want to be on the side of the specialist you have to position yourself for a short sale, incrementally. Take a look at breadth numbers and...

HardRightEdge.com I tried the $180 subscription to "Mastering The Trade" and I have to admit it was well worth the money. You get 6months of access (I think that is right) to a wealth of information. If you are a newbie or advanced trader, I highly recommend Mastering The Trade...

sounds like a simple plan to me.

I am sure you could SNET preference a market maker for 10k shares and sit on an ECN simultaneously to get 25k shares total. I wouldn't hit a market maker for 25k shares all at once. He will probably short it to you and tank the stock to shake you out, if you are right about the direction of the...

You could have the fastest newsfeed out there and you still would be getting the news slower than wallstreet. Think of it this way: if the guy who types the news knows it, how many others you think know it before it gets to us? just watch the tape.
